Introduction

Note:

This module is available from N3uron version 1.21.7.

IEC 104 Client allows users to quickly and easily connect to any intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), RTUs,  controllers, and gateways that adhere to the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. As an integrated part of the IEC Telecontrol Equipment and Systems Standard IEC 60870-5, the IEC 104 facilitates seamless communication, specifically tailored for transmitting telecontrol messages within electric power system automation.

IEC 104 Client is easy to set up, configure, and manage. Users only need to configure a small set of parameters to establish communication with the device and start real-time data exchange with the N3uron node.  This data can then be made available to other systems through any of the Data Delivery modules implemented within the N3uron platform, such as MQTT, OPC UA Server, Sparkplug, REST API Server, Notifier, etc. 

 Some of the key features of the module include:

• Cyclic, background scan, and polled reads.

• Direct Execute for write operations.

• General and Group Interrogation.

• Support for common ASDUs (please refer to the Appendix to check the list of Supported ASDUs).

• Unlimited connections: Multi-channel support. 

• Unlimited tags.
